I'm adding this page just for you. Having a teenage daughter, I have to make decisions about what she can and shouldn't do online. As I research and find relevant information, I will pass on what I have found. Hopefully this page provides you with the information you need to make informed decisions when your child says, "Mom/Dad, can I .....?"

Student Behavior and Classroom Expectations
Teacher and parent communication is key to a successful student. I encourage parents to contact me anytime there is a question about anything relating to our class. Please do not hesitate to contact me at julie.combs@cmcss.net. My expectations for behavior and performance are high. With over 200 students seen every week, it is imperative that our classroom procedures and behavior expectations are clearly understood and followed. Below is the Student Responsibility Contract which outlines my expectations. Your child should bring this document home for you to sign. If you wish to print your own copy to keep feel free to do so using the link. I have also included the Student Behavior Contract. This is assigned to students when verbal warnings have not proven sufficient to alter unacceptable classroom behavior. Your signature is required on this document and serves as parent contact should the student continue misbehaving to the point of a need for office intervention.
Dear Parents,

Sincerely,
